We'd be better at corner, for sure. But without a consistent pass rush, even better cornerbacks can't hold up.![]()
Breaux and Ellerbe are impact guys. I haven't seen enough of P.J. Williams, and haven't seen any of Rankins. Kikaha flashed his quickness last year, but was a one trick pony who got easily fazed out too often. So it's really difficult to judge where we'd be. I look forward to getting at least some of them back to see what happens. In the mean time, the offense is going to have to suck it up. They've been very inconsistent so far. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Fire Sean Payton
Majority of our starters the past couple games were suppose to be back ups so in training camp we had depth. Injuries took that depth away. If you listened to Jen Hale before 2nd half started she said Payton told her they were trying to protect the young guys on D with zone but mental mistakes put them out of position so in the 2nd half they were switching to man to make it less complicated. Sounds like good coaching to me.

If our Dome Patrol existed in today's game, we'd be a more dominant version of the Broncos. |

Re: Fire Sean Payton
Fire Sean Payton .
No. After this season, maybe so and maybe he needs , will want to move on to refresh himself. New challenges. Whoknows. No, it cannot stay like this for another year after this year. Right now, he, his staff, his team have to regroup during the bye week . Maybe yesterday was their turning point. I am just hoping for a 9-7 season. 8-8 even. ![]() |
